^That’s the definitive T10 in my mind. Caltech is a fantastic school but way too small and way too niche, and not socially elite.[/quote]

Princeton’s claim to fame for the past 50 years or so has been Brooke Shields. That’s it. [/quote]

What? Princeton alumni and faculty won 5 Nobels this year alone. For a school with 4,000 students, that is amazing. It is not Princeton's fault if you are too dumb to understand what they do and prefer to focus on celebrities.[/quote]

You missed the whole point about Brooke Shields. She was boasting she was so smart she slept through the rigor of an ivy. She published her transcript as a “proof” she graduated with >3.6 gpa. That incident created a scandal in the country. For the first time, people were able to see what a Mickey Mouse university Princeton truly is. Anyone can graduate from Princeton with basket weaving and swimming courses. [/quote]

She majored in French literature, which actually is a fairly rigorous major.  Sorry you got hosed by admissions. [/quote]
